Question
Prove the following identity :
`cosA/(1 - tanA) + sinA/(1 - cotA) = sinA + cosA`
Solution
LHS = `cosA/(1 - tanA) + sinA/(1 - cotA)`
= `cosA/(1-sinA/cosA) + sinA/(1 - cosA/sinA) = cosA/((cosA -sinA)/cosA) + sinA/((sinA - cosA)/sinA)`
= `cos^2A/(cosA - sinA) + sin^2A/(sinA - cosA) = (cos^2A - sin^2A)/((cosA - sinA))`
`((cosA - sinA)(cosA + sinA))/(cosA - sinA)`
= sinA + cosA = RHS
